[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Figments of Persuasion Field Guide" by Nancy L Vallette.]
The book called ‘Figments of Persuasion Field Guide’ by Nancy L. Vallette, illustrated by Don Stephenson, describes the concept of feelings. Accordingly, the purpose of this graphic novel is to get individuals aware of their ‘figments’ and improve their existence. Vallette talks about how in real life, one can come across his or her figment in small things, such as the smell of the rain or the momentary liveliness that moss gains in the cracks of stones. According to the author, some children have ceased believing in fantasy because of adults.
At the novel's start, the author introduces the book 'Figments of Persuasion Field Guide. The figments are similar to human form nebulously and are individuals for everyone and determined by feelings. They act as protectors of feelings and events that are ordinary in people’s lives. The author explains about different figments by naming them, and some of them are deferments, peeves, placids, demeanors, and many others. I find it fascinating how the author tries to unenchant the world and teach people how to discern happiness in everything around them. The images created by the artist based on the author's words are also worth highlighting. The words of the book are appealing and full of a variety of words that can enrich the readers’ vocabulary, and illustrations by Don Stephenson make readers better able to picture what has been described in the book.
As for the book’s cover, I also liked its design: it uses only black-and-white accents and no color at all. This lets the child color the images on his or her own, making them more illustrative. The font used by the author is also attractive. I would recommend this book to children above 7. It will assist them to become more innovative and realistic because getting happy with tiny things is not easy in the modern fanciful world. It is not very difficult to read since the author’s writing style is good, clear, uninterrupted, and as smooth as a waterless sea, as well as the illustrations are interesting. There is no use of bad language, and there are no grammar issues in this book. Taken in all these considerations, I do not have a single dislike for this book. Thus, this book deserves an ideal rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
